Some interesting new models, cheap street prices....looks like they are to be released shortly. <br /> <br /> I am liking the "Jaguar", which has the shape of a Jaguar but the similarities kind of end there.<br /> <br /> Any thoughts? |

I'm holding out for the Epi 339. |

That's funny, I saw that ad and thought they were referring to that Pawn Shop series. Had to take another look to see what was hidden in plain sight! <br /> <br /> Honestly, none of them really jump out at me. I guess I like the looks of the Jaguar Bass best. <br /> <br /> It will be interesting to hear opinions of people who try them. I can't see them selling briskly right now unless they offer high quality for the price point.<br /> <br /> BTW the MF ad doesn't list a gig bag as included? |

At those prices, I am assuming a gig bag is not included. <br /> <br /> I may bite on a Jaguar, if I do of course I will make sure I fill everyone in after getting it.<br /> <br /> I too was looking forward to the Epi 339, but I really want to get one of those in hand before I decide on that. Some Epis I really like, others just feel like junk and I want to see which one the 339 winds up being.<br /> <br /> The low dollar Fenders, however, I am usually fairly satisfied with. |

They look like fun, but I wouldn't say terribly ground breaking. Just variations on themes/features... if the pickups in the "Telecaster Electric Bass Guitar" are decent, I can see that being a runaway favorite. The neck pickup is really far up there and folks who are into ridiculously deep bass tones ala Reggae or Gov't Mule might really dig it. |
| mfitz804 Contributing Member ********** ** Staten Island, NY I'm dizzy from the twist of fate. |
No definitely not ground breaking. |

I posted a thread on these earlier today, but it looks like it was moved to the Telecaster forum? |

The only one of the bunch that looks half interesting to me is the Marauder, but there's something about the body style I like, even if I have absolutely no need for the instrument.<br /> <br /> |
| Peegoo Contributing Member ********** ********* That chicken is WRONG, baby. |
The Tele Plus looks like it could be a very versatile guitar. I like the P90 models too. I'm happy that P90s are sort of making a comeback these days. |

They seem to like the word "volcanic."<br /> <br /> -a |

When you have an armadillo in your trousers, volcanic is a way of life. |

Wish they'd stuck with a single string tree on the Teles. Two looks awkward and is unnecessary, IMO. |
| Twangmeister Contributing Member **** Northern by birth Southern by diet |
Hmmm-I kind like the Tele and humbuckered Jazz |

I will go on record and be the first to report that I have pre-ordered a Marauder in LPB. <br /> <br /> Supposedly coming in on Monday and shipping to me shortly thereafter. Report to follow, of course. |

You better start pumping iron, that triple coil will take more man than I am to plug in. |

Will wait to hear your report on build quality mfitz804...but... |
| reverendrob FDP Data Goon Moderator I may be evil ...but you love me anyway. |
Jag needs all black hardware/bridge/switch and the Strat jack cup removed and have it sidemount for input like a LP. <br /> <br /> Then I'd consider it. |
| fendrguitplayr Contributing Member ******* Greater Boston Where suspense is never in short supply. |
Very easily done Rob with guitar parts resource. |
| reverendrob FDP Data Goon Moderator I may be evil ...but you love me anyway. |
Still leaves a gaping hole with the jack cup, which wrecks the aesthetics. |

Backorder date was changed from yesterday to 10/20. I guess we will see, they usually change the backorder dates a million times before actually shipping. That's why I typically don't like to backorder. <br /> <br /> I'm impatient. |
